Dockers protest expulsions The recent London dock strike was called to protest dismissal of these three wolrkers from the Transport and General Workers Union. The ousted men carry placards telling their story. They were expelled for leading a sympathy strike in support of striking Canadian seamen last year. Demand Britain back People’s China in UN . LONDON The Britain-China Friendship Association, at its recent national committee meeting here, urged the hearted and ful] support to China’s Labor government to give “whole- demand for -admission to its rightful place as a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations and for the exclusion of the present representatives of Chiang Kai-shek who have, now been disowned by the Chinese people. The association condemned the government for abstaining when the issue was voted on in the UN Security Council, pointing out that British recognition of the Chinese People’s government could only be fulfilled if Britain “stands uncon- ditionally for China’s-rights in all international spheres and fights China’s case on each and every UN committee.” A second resolution demanded that the U.S. government termin- ate all aid, direct and indirect, to Caiang Kai-shek. “Chiang Kai-shek aid to bomb Chinese cities, to kill and maim Chinese people and to blockade China trade,” the resolu- tion noted, adding: “While such aid continues. the U.S. government will be held re- sponsible in world opinion for the slaughter.done and damage inflicted by Chiang Kai-shek and for pre- venting China’s return to peaceful conditions.” is using this. Nehru employs troops to put down peasants BOMBAY The Indian government of Pre- mier Nehru is now using special armed units trained by the British in fighting the popular liberation forces in Malaya and Burma in a renewed attempt to suppress the armed struggle of the peasants of Hyderabad and Madras states. Use of these troops, most of whom are Gurkhas, is an indication of the desperation of the Indian govern- ment which until now has main- tained .a careful pretence of “dis- approval” of British, French and Dutch colonial wars in southeast Asia. The reign of police terror has not succeeded in putting down the peas- ants’ liberation movement and, cently the Congress (government) party politicians began calling for full-scale military operations. re- The liberation movement affects mainly Andhra and Telengana pro- vinces of Madras and Hyderabad respectively where there is wide- spread guerilla fighting. In many places the peasants have succeeded in restoring land reform and de- mocratisation measures which had previously been suppressed by gov- ernment troops. Over 5,000 workers and peasants, women and students, have been | jailed in the areas. Norwegian dockers quit U.S. arms ship OSLO Norwegian authorities tried to trick dockers into unloading arms from. an American ship here by telling them the cargo “consisted of bananas.” When the dockers learned the vessel carried muni-- tions, they refused to unload it.

THE KUZNETSOVS - SOCIALIST CITIZENS Park, factory, city, all belong to them Racial eeitics blind nationalistic hatred, all the violent fears and hatreds fostered by capitalism are alien to the Soviet way of life. In this thirteenth article of his series \‘n the Kuznetsovs, a typical Moscow family, Ralph Parker tells why the Soviet citizen will play an ever greater role in shaping the new world order. By RALPH PARKER Parker, formerly Moscow correspondent of the LONDON TIMES and the NEW YORK TIMES, now writes from the Soviet capital for the LONDON DAILY WORKER. MOSCOW Before completing this series on the Kuznetsov family it would be as well to describe briefly the way its members feel about certain things. The Kuznetsovs and what they stand for are going to play an interesting part in the way this world’s run. They can’t just be ignored. ‘You must, first, remember that they are accustomed to certain things peculiar to Soviet society. Vladimir Kuznetzov has never been out of work. As his qualifi- cations have improved, so he has accordingly been transferred to more skilled work. . Holidays with pay, free medical Services, free education and tech- nical training, a guaranteed home, he has come to accept these as his rights. : On the other hand, since he first began to work, in the days of the first Five Year Plan, he has been kept fully aware of the obligations that lay on him to give in order to receive. His own share in drawing up the plan and the clarity with which his part in the totality of the community effort is explained to him has caused him to give will- ingly. But there is far more to it than that. He sees the direct link be- tween his effort and his reward, whether it is in the housing pro- jects financed from the_ enter- prise’s profits, in rising wages or in the greater abundance of cheaper, better-quality consumer goods, of the means of production is! strange and repugnant to him. It would no more occur to him that it would in some lands be nor- mal for private individuals to own the factory ‘he works in than it would that he should own as pri- vate property the capstan lathe he works. Yet he is strongly attached to his personal property, to everything that is in his home, bought care- fully for well-earned money. This sense of personal property merges with that of a different character. * oe Walk with Kuznetsoy through his district of Moscow and-he will refer not only to “our’ park or “our” library or hospital, but as we pass the furniture factory or the many- storeyed new hotel, or the new children’s Universal Stores to “our” factory, “our” hotel and so on.. And this feeling of having a share in collectively-owned prop- erty embraces Moscow as a whole, with its Red Square, its Kremlin, its broad, tree-lined streets, its The idea of private ownership buildings new and old; and beyond Moscow, over fields and steppes and boundless forests to the limits of the Soviet Union’s mighty expanse. That is the essence of Vladimir's patriotim. Three decades of Soviet power have created this new rela- tionship between the citizen and his homeland. It is as remote from Russian nationalism of the old type as Kuz- netsov’s place in the factory is from that of his father’s in the merchant Zubov’s works. Ihave never heard Kuznetsov say he hated any other race or | nationality. He could not for there is no place for such hate in the community to which he be: longs. I have never heard him deny the right of any nation and any people to any real contribution it has made to the civilization of its own coun- try or of mankind. However strained relations are with Britain or America, I have never heard Kuznetsov or any of his friends belittle the achieve- ments of the British or American people. Kuznetsov has never read a line in the press, or seen a play or a film, or heard a word spoken at a meeting that contains even a hint of a threat to America or Britain or any other land. How, then, do you expect him to react when he reads the boast- ful threatening words of Con- gressman Cannon or learns of what Churchill was writing about the Soviet Union during those sacred hours when the fate of the world hung in the balance at Stalingrad? I have never found evidence of a single act of racial prejudice mixed Negro-Russian ‘parentage PACIFIC TRIBUNE—MAY 12, 1950—PAGE 3 though for many years a child of |; Everything belongs to the people lived in his own home. Though there exists a law to punish anti-Semitism or any simi- lar offense against human rights, it is scarcely needed, so free from Prejudice is the average Soviet citizen, What safeguards his mind from such things is a rational education. Kuznetsov’s intense interest in the process by which the human society he belongs to is being fash- ioned and maintained is stimulat- ed by the constant flow of informa- tion that reaches him about the aims, methods and achievements of Soviet society.
